Area Guide · Istanbul Asian Side
The Asian side's planned business centre and its most modern housing stock.
Ataşehir was built as a planned extension of the city and now hosts the Istanbul Finance Centre, giving the Asian side its own corporate core. Its housing is almost entirely modern: gated compounds, towers and serviced residences laid out on wide boulevards.
The finance centre has reshaped demand here, drawing professional tenants and pushing new development toward higher specification.
Why Ataşehir
The Istanbul Finance Centre anchors long-term corporate demand in the district.
Newer compounds and towers with full amenities, parking and management.
Sits on the main north-south motorway spine with fast bridge access.
Private schools, hospitals and large retail all inside the district.
Getting around
Who it suits. Investors following the finance centre. Families who want a new, properly run compound on the Asian side.
